Big Show winning the WHC really doesn't change anything, as we go from a boring Champion with some in ring talent to a boring Champion with no in ring talent.

CM Punk retaining the WWE Championship is not a bad choice but, I definitely would put the belt on Rock to shuffle the deck right before WrestleMania.

And Ziggler winning the Rumble is a great move. Although, with the current Champions, it really doesn't add up, so, you know there's gotta be some reshuffling of the Championship scene with No Way Out still in between the end of the Rumble and the start of 'Mania.

Your format was a bit thrown together but, the important stuff was there nonetheless.

Raw kicks off with “Cult Of Personality” blasting through the speakers. CM Punk comes out with Paul Heyman holding the WWE title. They make their way to the ring. Punk enters the ring the same way The Rock normally does, mocking him. Punk grabs a microphone and starts laughing.

CM Punk: FINALLY, CM PUNK HAS KICKED THE ROCK OUT OF THE WWE!

Crowd boos

CM Punk: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, respect goes both ways jerks! Shut up while the people’s champ is talking!

Crowd boos louder

CM Punk: What’s the matter? Are you mad cause I knocked off your “savior” The Rock?

Crowd pops for The Rock, with Rocky chants all abound

CM Punk: Go ahead! Chant for him! You can cheer him all you want. It doesn’t change the fact that I did what I said I was going to do. I kicked his ass. I kicked his ass so badly, he’s gone back to Hollywood to stay because he knows he’ll be safe there. He now knows his role is not to be champion and he’s not coming back. And, in spite of all of you, I’m still the WWE Champion and the BEST IN THE WOOORRRRLLLLDDDD!

*Electrifying*

The Rock comes storming down the ramp as the crowd gives him a huge pop. He grabs a mic and gets in the ring and right in Punk’s face.

Rock: Look at you. Out here running your mouth like you think you crushed The Rock? Is that really what you think?

Punk: Go ahead…

Rock: IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK!

Punk sarcastically claps and has this look of fake surprise on his face.
Punk: Wow! I had no idea you were going to say that! What a shocker! What are you doing here? Are you here to spit out more of your ridiculously overused catchphrases? Getting in your last little bit of glory before you crawl back to Hollywood? Go ahead get your last ten minutes of …

Rock: SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

Punk gets angry as the crowd cheers. The Rock puts his hand up.

Rock: The Rock came out here to set the record straight. When I said I was going to end your reign as champion I meant it. And I’m not leaving the WWE until I do!

Crowd cheers

Rock: The Rock is back to get what’s his. And that’s the WWE Championship!

Crowd cheers louder

Rock: It took 3 people to stop The Rock from doing what he said he’d do at the Royal Rumble. It took the walrus, the crackhead and whoever the crackhead hired to beat me. But get something through your head jack! It’s gonna take an army to keep The Rock down!

Crowd cheers

Rock: So you can bring everyone you can pay off. It STILL won’t stop me from taking the title at the Elimination Chamber!

Crowd cheers as Punk looks outraged

Punk: What is it with you and your friend Cena?! You both think you have infinite chances at the title because you’re breathing?! You lost! You had your shot at the champ and you blew it! If you really want another shot, you can get at the back of the line and work your way up like everyone else. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll get another shot at me!

Mixed reaction as the crowd boos and there are faint cheers

Rock: Make no mistake about it Punk. I’m getting another shot at Elimination Chamber.

EXCUSE ME!

Crowd boos as Vickie Guerrero comes out and stands at the top of the entrance ramp

Vickie: I SAID EXCUSE ME!

Crowd boos again. Everyone in the ring turns and looks at Vickie

Vickie: Rock, you may think you run this show but you don’t. I’M in charge of Raw and I’LL say who gets a title shot! Since you didn’t defeat CM Punk at the Royal Rumble last night, you have to earn another shot if you want to face Punk at the Elimination Chamber Pay Per View.

Crowd boos Vickie’s decision as Heyman and Punk both applaud her.

Vickie: Punk, I wouldn’t be so happy if I were you.

Punk and Heyman stop clapping and look confused.

Vickie: I just got word from Mr. McMahon. Because of what happened in your match last night, he’s decided that the WWE Championship will be defended…inside the Elimination Chamber!

Crowd cheers as Punk gets upset.

Vickie: Tonight will start the qualifying matches for the Elimination Chamber match. The winners of these 4 matches will be entered into the Elimination Chamber. The losers will enter into a fatal four way match to determine the last entrant in the chamber. But just to add some flavor, the competitors won’t be announced until their matches. And Rock, you’ll be one of the people competing for a spot in the Chamber…tonight!

Crowd cheers as The Rock gets amped up. The Rock turns around and leaves, pointing at Punk and motioning that the title will be around his waist soon.

*Miracle*
The fans boo as Antonio Cesaro comes down to the ring waving the American flag. He gets in the ring and grabs a mic.

Cesaro: Thank you for the warm response for your United States Champion!

Crowd boos louder.

Cesaro: Now I know that you lazy, obese, poverty-stricken Americans are proud to have me representing your country, but after I win tonight and go on to the Elimination Chamber match, I will be representing the world as the next *Does his arm taunt* W-W-E CHAMPIOOON!

Crowd continues to boo.

*I Came To Play*

Crowd cheers as The Miz comes out and enters the ring for their match.

Qualifying Match: Antonio Cesaro vs. The MizThe match was a lot of back and forth action. In the end, Miz went for Skull Crushing Finale. Cesaro rolled out of it and hit the Very European Uppercut. Cesaro capitalized and hit the Neutralizer for the win.

Camera cuts to the backstage area, where Punk and Heyman are walking down a hallway.

Punk: What the hell is his problem Paul?! First he almost strips me of the title for something that I supposedly did, and then he puts me in the Chamber because he can’t prove it?! I know he’s old, but that’s no excuse!

Heyman: I’ve told you before, when Vince becomes obsessed with something, he’s not going to stop until he’s right or the person’s career is over.

They stop walking as they run into Mr. McMahon in the hallway.

McMahon: Nice job gentlemen. Punk, I didn’t realize that you and Heyman were magicians! You managed to kill the lights, get The Shield involved in your match, and get them back to the top of the arena in matter of seconds! That’s one hell of a trick you two pulled off.

Heyman: Mr. McMahon, …

McMahon: SHHUUUTTT UP!!

Crowd cheers as Heyman looks down and Punk looks offended.

McMahon: Now I know that you two are involved with Brad Maddox. And I also know you’re involved with The Shield. It’s just a matter of time before…

Punk: Before what?! Before you create some evidence out of thin air to back up your paranoia?! I’ve told you and I’ve told those jerks out there about 1,000 times now that I, nor Paul Heyman, have anything to do with Brad Maddox or The Shield. If you want to spend your time playing Watergate, then fine. Just don’t look so sad when I say I told you so.

Punk and Heyman walk away as Mr. McMahon looks on. He takes a phone call as they go to commercial break.

Commercial Break/Video package hypes Elimination Chamber PPV

*Smoke And Mirrors*Cody Rhodes made his entrance in typical fashion, accompanied with the crowd booing him the entire way down to the ring.

*Flight Of The Valkyries*Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring, encompassed by the WWE Universe chanting yes and his usual response of no. Bryan gets in a fan’s face and does the no taunt while the fan does the yes taunt. He finally enters the ring and the match begins.

Qualifying Match: Cody Rhodes vs. Daniel BryanIn the closing minutes of this closely fought contest, Daniel Bryan went for the running corner dropkick and Rhodes avoided the contact. Rhodes went for the Disaster Kick and Bryan ducked underneath it. Bryan followed up with a roundhouse to Cody’s head and missed. Rhodes grabbed Bryan and set him up for Cross Rhodes. Bryan reversed and hit a northern lights suplex and bridged for a pin attempt. Rhodes kicked out at 2. But as soon as he kicked out, Bryan locked up Rhodes in the Cattle Mutilation. Rhodes gave up, giving Bryan the submission victory and a spot in the chamber!

*Here To Show The World*Dolph Ziggler makes his way down to the ring, with Big E Langston and AJ skipping in tow. He comes down to the ring all smiles and AJ is no different. Before he starts to talk, AJ kisses him.

Ziggler: As great as that was babe, I think my performance at the Royal Rumble was even better! I went in first and came out the winner just like I said I would because I’m too damn good at this!

Mixed reaction as he taunts.

Ziggler: Now to the matter at hand. I’m sure that everyone wants to know which champion I’m going to beat at Wrestlemania. So who should it be? Should I take the World Heavyweight Championship and save my Money In The Bank contract if, by some miracle, I lose it before July?

Crowd boos more than cheers. Ziggler smiles.

Ziggler: That’s a great plan, but I’ve got an even better one. I’m going to be taking the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania!

More cheers than boos this time.

Ziggler: And who knows? Maybe I might cash this baby in on the same night and become the first Undisputed Champion in 11 years! And like everything I do, I’ll be the best Undisputed Champion this company has ever seen…

*Break The Walls Down*

The crowd pops as Chris Jericho walks to the ring. Ziggler and company look irritated to see him as he picks up the mic.

Jericho: You think it’s going to be just that easy huh? You think it’ll be that simple? That you’ll just walk out of Wrestlemania with both titles because you’re you?

Ziggler shakes his head yes.

Jericho: I can tell you from experience it’s not that easy Junior! You see, I…

Ziggler: Is this the part where you remind everyone that you were the first ever Undisputed Champion because you beat Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock in the same night?

Crowd cheers for Austin and Rock.

Ziggler: Everybody already knows that. You’ve said it enough for everyone to remember. But that’s the past. The ancient past. I’m the future of this company Chris, not you. You had your time and you blew it. So why don’t you go back to hosting whatever second rate reality show you probably begged to be on to stay relevant?

Crowds oohs as Jericho scratches his chin. Jericho starts to leave the ring. When Ziggler, AJ and Big E turn around to taunt the crowd, Jericho grabs Ziggler and hits him with the Codebreaker! Jericho rolls out of the ring before Big E can get to him. Big E stares a hole through Jericho while AJ tends to Ziggler.

Commercial Break/Replay of end of Ziggler/Jericho segment

*Hallelujah Chorus*Damien Sandow comes out to a chorus of boos. He walks to the ring with a microphone in hand.

Sandow: SILENCE! I AM ABOUT TO SPEAK!

Crowd boos even heavier.

Sandow: Now as opposed as I am to being placed in such a barbaric and vile structure as the Elimination Chamber, I will nevertheless defeat whomever my opponent might be to go on to that match and become not only the intellectual savior of you, the unwashed masses, but also your WWE Champion! YOU’RE WELCOME!

*The Time Is Now*

Sandow looks disturbed as John Cena comes out to his usual mixed reaction. He makes his usual entrance into the ring and the match begins.

Qualifying Match: Damien Sandow vs John CenaThis match was all John Cena. Sandow never even got out of the gate. Cena made quick work of Sandow and hit the Attitude Adjustment for the win.

Camera cuts backstage as we see Daniel Bryan walking through the hallway and he finds Kane. Kane’s got (if it’s hard to believe) an even deeper scowl on his face than normal.

Bryan: What’s the matter with you?

Kane: …

Bryan: Did you see Dr. Shelby again or something?

Kane shakes his head no.

Bryan: Could it be that you’ve finally realized that I’m the tag team champions?

Kane shakes his head no again.

Bryan: Could it be…that I’ve qualified for the chamber match and you haven’t even been considered?

Kane turns to Daniel and looks down at him.

Bryan: Hey! Don’t get mad at me! It’s not my fault if only one of us could qualify and they chose the better half of the tag team champions.

Kane starts to hit Daniel, but then he hears his name announced for a qualifying match.

Kane: I guess they saved the best for last goatface.

Kane walks away and Bryan stands there repeating no over and over again.

*Veil Of Fire*Kane makes his entrance and heads down to the ring. He sets off his pyro and waits for his opponent. But everyone knows by now that it’s…

*Electrifying*The Rock comes out and warms up on the stage while the crowd goes nuts. The Rock makes his entrance and the match starts.

Qualifying Match: The Rock (W) vs. KaneKane dominates the early moments of the match. The Rock fights back, but it’s pretty much all Kane until Kane misses a corner clothesline. The Rock begins to get the momentum and hits the spinebuster to set up for the People’s Elbow. The Rock goes for it, but Kane grabs him by the throat before he can connect. Kane goes for the Chokeslam, but Rock counters with a float-over DDT. Rock gets back up and goes for the People’s Elbow again and connects. The Rock stalks Kane. The Rock goes for the Rock Bottom and gets reversed into a Chokeslam! Kane gets up and signals for the Tombstone Piledriver. But before he can get Rock up, Daniel Bryan comes out to ringside screaming no at Kane. Kane looks confused as Daniel screams “I AM NOT A GOATFACE!” Kane turns back around into the Rock Bottom. The Rock gets the cover and the win.

I really liked your first show (although not necessarily an official one to your BTB).

I really liked the two segments with Rock/Punk + Y2J/Ziggler. The characters were really well portrayed.

The idea of the night, to have these qualifying matches for the Elimination Chamber was a great idea and simple yet effective one. All the pairings were well thaught out, now, we'll have Miz Vs Rhodes Vs Kane Vs Sandow. I would say Kane would be the best choice, just because DB is already in. Either way, I'm just most excited to see The Rock in his first Elimination Chamber match.

You were missing maybe only one match on that card, and, an interference by The Shield (which could have been in that throw-away match).

Overall, the way things are going on RAW is good enough for me. I can't to see how NXT does though!

NXT has a new General Manager, the mystery man Devon Cross. He has promised to address the NXT audience and says he has a message for the entire WWE Universe and for the NXT Champion, Big E Langston. What could he possibly have to say?

NXT has announced that there will be a Tag Team Gauntlet Match for the newly created NXT Tag Team Championships!

The returning Shelton Benjamin has told the world that he'll be entering the tournament and he'll announce his partner on the same night. Who could Shelton have selected to be his partner in his quest for the tag team gold?

Summer Rae, the self-proclaimed First Lady of NXT has issued an open challenge to any NXT diva on the roster who thinks they can compete with her. Who will step up to the challenge?

I liked the way of the qualifying matches but for I see Bryan to get to the chamber but I think Punk will retain on the night

Happy about Raw but looking forward for your first NXT and I think either Woods or Hass will tag with Benjamin

G.O.A.T

Quote:

CM Punk: I am the best wrestler in the world. Iíve been the best ever since day one when I walked into this company, and Iíve been vilified and hated since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. Thatís right, Iím a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar, and he split just like Iím splitting, but the biggest difference between me and Brock is Iím going to leave with the WWE Championship

Joey Styles: Hello everyone and welcome to the new NXT! I’m Joey Styles on commentary along with the old villain William Regal.

William Regal: It’s a pleasure to be here. It’s sure been a whirlwind around here lately.

Styles: That’s right. We’re now under new management as “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes has stepped down as General Manager and has been replaced by Devon Cross.

Regal: The only thing I know about him is that he’s had some experience on the independent circuit. Other than that, I have no idea of who this man is. But he’s promised to address the WWE Universe and our champion Big E Langston tonight.

Styles: Well you won’t have to wait long to find out what he has to say because here he comes!

*Like A Boss*

Bryon Saxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the new NXT General Manager, Devon Cross!

Devon comes out and the crowd cheers and claps. He walks down to the ring, shaking hands with the fans that are sitting by the ramp. He goes around the ring, shaking hands and giving high fives to the ringside fans. He enters the ring and accepts the microphone from Saxton and Saxton leaves as Cross gets ready to speak.

Cross: FULL SAIIIILLLLL!!!

Crowd pops

Cross: How’s everybody doing tonight?!

Crowd pops louder

Cross: That’s great! We’ve got some great matches for you tonight. And we will also be crowning the first NXT Tag Team Champions in a 4 team gauntlet match in our main event!

Crowd pops

Cross: I’m not going to take up too much of your time out here because I know you came to see people walk the walk, not talk, talk, talk. So without further ado, Big E Langston would you join me in the ring please?

*I Can’t Keep Still*

Big E Langston comes out with the NXT Championship on his shoulder. The crowd cheers and starts a loud “FIVE!” chant as Big E walks to the ring chanting with them. He grabs a mic and enters the ring.

Cross: Thank you for joining me Big E. I wanted to talk to you about that *pointing at his championship*. I have one question to ask you that’s been burning in my mind and a question that I’m sure the NXT faithful want answered. Are you proud to be a champion?

Big E looks confused as Cross continues

Cross: I only ask because when I see you on Raw and Smackdown with Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee, *Crowd boos* you’re never carrying the NXT Championship with you. Now I’m not an authority on the subject, but I don’t believe I’ve ever met a champion who doesn’t carry his title with him at all times.

Big E shifts the title to his other shoulder

Cross: To me, a champion, especially the top champion of a brand should always represent their brand wherever they go. And I wanted to ask why you’re not doing that.

Langston: You know, I never really thought that the title made the man. I think the man makes the title.

Crowd cheers as he continues

Langston: I don’t need to carry the title with me to represent my brand. I represent my brand just by being its champion and being the best champion that this brand’s ever seen.

Crowd pops and Cross shakes his head in agreement

Langston: And I plan on being champion for a very long time because there’s not a wrestler back there that can beat my 5 count!

Crowd cheers

Cross: I’m glad you brought that up Big E. I know you love competition. I also know that you don’t currently have a number one contender for your title. And everyone in the WWE Universe knows that you’ve wanted a 5-count since you’ve showed up here. So that’s exactly what I’ve got in store for you. Starting next week, you’ll be competing in an open 5-count challenge with new rules for your matches. You will need to earn a 5-count in order to win by pinfall, but your opponent only needs to earn a 3-count. Whoever you face will have the chance to become the new number 1 contender if they can beat you under those rules.

Crowd cheers and Big E nods his approval

Cross: Good luck to you Big E.

Cross starts to leave as the titantron turns to static. A video signal cuts across the feed as a handheld camera is picked up to reveal The Shield.

Rollins: Rollins…

Ambrose: Ambrose…

Reigns: Reigns…

Rollins: Big E, you think there’s no one that can take that title away from you huh? You remember me? The guy who hasn’t cashed in on his rematch clause yet?

Ambrose: In case you hadn’t noticed, we’ve been a little busy dealing with the injustice on Raw and Smackdown. But don’t think for a second that the eyes of justice haven’t been watching NXT.

Reigns: We’re dedicated to bringing justice to the entire WWE and that includes NXT.

Ambrose: And this whole 5-count challenge looks like a pretty big injustice to us.

Rollins: Cross, you haven’t even been in charge for 5 minutes and you’re already trying to skip me as a challenger for my title? We’ve got the eyes of justice on you. And Big E, I’ll come back for my title in due time.

Ambrose: You will learn to believe Cross…

Reigns: Believe in justice…

Ambrose: Believe in The Shield…

Rollins: BELIEVE IN THE SHIELD!!!

The handheld camera is put back down and The Shield walks out of frame. The video feed cuts off and Cross looks concerned as they go to commercial break.

Commercial Break

Styles: If you’re just tuning in, there’s been an announcement from our general manager that Big E Langston will be competing in the 5-count challenge starting next week to determine a new number one contender for the NXT Championship.

Regal: And The Shield also had a message for Big E Langston and our new general manager.

Video replays The Shield’s segment and show Cross’s concern before going back to the ring

*Get Funky*Xavier Woods makes his entrance into the arena to a decent pop. He makes his way down to the ring while Styles and Regal talk up his style and his dancing

*Fire Wire (DJ Proz Remix)*Kenny Omega makes his signature entrance. The crowd gives him a small pop because he’s unknown to most of the audience. Regal talks up Omega’s independent background. Styles talks about his wrestling style and how he resembles a video game when he wrestles

Kenny Omega vs Xavier WoodsClosing Minutes: Woods goes for a clothesline. Omega ducks under, jumps up, and hits the Kotaru Krusher! Omega goes for the pin…

Xavier backs up and sets up in the opposite corner for the rolling thunder clothesline. He measures Omega and screams “It’s Morphing Time!” and rolls out. When he jumps up, he’s met with a Hadouken from Omega! Omega quickly picks up Woods and sets him up for the Aoi Shoudou. He lifts him and…hits it! He hooks the leg…

Winner: Kenny Omega

Styles: What a match and a very impressive debut from Kenny Omega!

Regal: What in the bloody hell did you call that move again?

Styles: It’s called HADOUKEN!

Regal: Whatever you say sunshine…

Styles: We now go to Josh Matthews standing by with Summer Rae.

Matthews: Thank you Joey. Summer…

Summer Rae: Ahem! From now on, you and everyone else will address me as the First Lady of NXT if you know what’s good for you.

Matthews: Ooookay, what’s the reason for this open challenge tonight?

Summer Rae: The reason is simple Joshy. It’s to prove to everyone once and for all that I’m the best woman on this roster! All these other “divas” can’t compare to a lady and I’m going to show all of them how inferior they are to me. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to put a diva in the dust. Laters!

Matthews: Joey, William, back to you…

Regal: Did she actually call him Joshy?

Styles: I…think she did…

Summer Rae makes her entrance, accompanied by a sea of boos from the NXT fans. She enters the ring and awaits her opponent taunting whoever it might be.

*Glamazon*

Summer Rae’s jaw drops as the NXT crowd pops for the return of Beth Phoenix! Beth enters the arena to “Welcome Back!” chants from the crowd as she taunts and heads to the ring. Beth enters the ring as Summer Rae backs off and puts her hands up in protest. She tries to tell the referee to make her leave, but the referee rings the bell!

Summer Rae vs Beth PhoenixBeth made quick work of Summer Rae. Summer had zero momentum as Beth picked her up and tossed her around like a Barbie doll. After toying with her, Beth finished her off with the Glam Slam and covered her.

Styles: What a return for Beth Phoenix!

Regal: She certainly hasn’t lost a step at all after being unceremoniously ousted by Vickie Guererro in October.

Styles: Right now, we have Road Dogg Jesse James standing by with our new general manager Devon Cross.

Road Dogg: Well, it’s me it’s me. It’s that D-O-Double G standing next to the GM of NXT. The Shield had a message for you earlier today. Now I wanna know what you got to say?

Cross: Road Dogg, what I have to say is simple. If Seth Rollins wants his rematch for the title, all he has to do is ask. I’m not trying to take away what’s rightfully his by any means. But it’s been nearly a month and he’s shown no interest in getting his shot. I’m not going to have this show held hostage by anyone. Not Rollins, and especially not The Shield. We’re not going to wait on Rollins to make up his mind before we have another title match. This is the dawn of a new day in NXT. It’s a day where competition is what matters. No politics, just wrestling. Wins and losses are going to start meaning something again…

Whistle blows in the background as the Primetime Players step into view to a mixed reaction

O’Neil: Hold up, hold up, hold up! Time out, flag on the play! That’s a flagrant foul on the new GM!

Cross looks puzzled as O’ Neil continues and Young picks out his hair

O’ Neil: How you gonna talk about wins and losses meaning something and NOT mention the Primetime Players?! Even worse, you’re crowning new tag team champions and the Players aren’t part of the match?!

Young: Ain’t nobody got time fo’ dat!

Cross put his hand on his forehead, then wiped his face with it

Cross: You see what I mean? This is exactly what I’m talking about. Why should I put you in a match for tag team gold when the last time you had a significant win was months ago?! Because of who you think you are? Because of what you think you’re worth?

O’ Neil: Everybody knows what we’re worth!

O’ Neil and Young get set to do the Millions of Dollars dance before Cross interrupts them

Cross: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don’t start that right now. Alright, you want a chance at the Tag Team titles?

Young: Yeah!

Cross: Then next week, you can prove how much you’re worth to me and the NXT audience by facing the first eliminated team from tonight’s gauntlet match. If you win, then we’ll talk.

Styles: It seems that the Primetime Players have their eyes set on the NXT Tag Team Championships already!

Regal: And they’ll be competing next week for a chance at the titles.

Styles: That should be a good match, but up next we have the return of the World Warrior Kaval!

*Blood Work*Richie Steamboat enters the arena to a good pop from the crowd. He gets the crowd hype as he enters the ring and awaits his opponent

*Exploding Helmets*Kaval enters and the crowd goes crazy! He mouths the words “I’m Back!” into the camera as he makes his way down to the ring. He enters and the match begins

Kaval vs Richie SteamboatClosing Minutes: The match had gone back and forth for a while now. Just as Kaval would get the upper hand, Steamboat would break his momentum. Kaval and Steamboat got into a chopping match for a while, exchanging chop for chop as each blow seemed to get harder than the last. Kaval won out and whipped Steamboat to the ropes. Kaval did a roundhouse kick and Steamboat slid under it! Kaval ran for him, but ran right into a double knife-edge chop! Kaval got up and ran at him again, but Steamboat retaliated with another double knife-edge! Steamboat was gaining momentum and kept it up by hitting three shoulder blocks in a row. He went for the cover…

Kick Out!
Steamboat got up and began to measure Kaval for the Sling Blade. Kaval gets up, Steamboat bounces off the ropes and runs full speed but gets met with a legsweep. Steamboat doesn’t even connect with the mat completely before Kaval’s up and hits a standing Warrior’s Way! Kaval goes for the cover…

Kick Out!
Kaval wastes little time. He quickly gets to his feet, bounces off the ropes and hits a powerdrive elbow on a downed Steamboat. Kaval then quickly lifts Steamboat to his feet. Kaval sets up for the Ki Krusher, lifts Steamboat in the air and…connects! Kaval goes for the cover…

Winner: Kaval

Regal: That was an excellent match between those two warriors in the ring. What a hard fought battle that was!

Styles: And what a return for the World Warrior. He’s back and NXT has him!

Regal: Up next is our main event to crown brand new NXT Tag Team Champions.

Styles: And remember, the first team to be eliminated from tonight’s gauntlet match will face the Primetime Players next week here on NXT!

Regal: We haven’t even finished this week and already next week’s looking better and better. This new NXT is already starting to grow on me. All this competition and new talent around is making me wonder if I can still…

Regal gets a faraway look in his eyes and Styles picks up on it

Styles: Could we be hearing the return of the villain William Regal to action?!

Regal shakes his head nonchalantly

Regal: No, no, no. I don’t think so. But it does light a fire in me that I haven’t experienced in years. It’s bloody exciting!

Styles: Well, the excitement’s not over yet! We’ve still got our main event coming up right now!

*Let It Go*Kassius Ohno and Leo Kruger make their way to the ring slowly to a chorus of boos from the NXT faithful. They each do their usual entrances and wait for their opponents.

*Ain’t No Stoppin’ Me*The audience cheers as Shelton Benjamin makes his way out with a mic in hand and stops at the top of the stage.

Benjamin: I knew for my return tonight I needed a partner that was going to bring his A-Game and bring mine up to a whole new level. I’ve scoured the globe for a tag team partner for tonight. And I couldn’t have asked for a better choice.

*I’m Comin’*To everyone’s elated surprise, MVP enters instead! Styles does his patented “OH MY GOD!” as the crowd goes crazy! He does the 305 taunt and walks up to Shelton. MVP and Shelton shake hands as they look towards the ring. Kruger and Ohno look shocked! They start frantically talking to each other and Shelton and MVP hit the ring at full speed to start the match!

Ohno and Kruger had no chance in this one as Benjamin and MVP hit the ring like a house of fire! They never let up. At one point, Benjamin knocks Ohno off the ring apron. He irish whips Kruger into a corner and tags in MVP. MVP and Benjamin go into the opposite corner. MVP irish whips Benjamin at Kruger while MVP starts to run after him. Benjamin leaps to connect with a Stinger Splash in the corner and moves just in time for MVP to hit the Drive-By Kick in the corner! MVP rolls Kruger out of the corner and goes for the pin…

The Young Bucks don’t even wait for their music to hit as they run out full speed to the ring. They start exchanging blows with MVP and Benjamin. Eventually, the referee restores order leaving Max and MVP as the legal men. The match was very even with a lot of near falls. The Young Bucks began to pick up momentum as Jeremy tags in Max. Max and Jeremy hit the Crazy Dive on MVP as the crowd goes crazy! When Max rolls back in the ring, he’s met with a superkick from Shelton Benjamin. Max rolls out of the ring and Jeremy jumps onto the ring apron. Jeremy springboards over the tope rope and hits a Slingshot Sitout Facebuster on Benjamin, followed by a moonsault off the ring apron to MVP! Max climbs the top rope to take advantage of Shelton being down. He jumps off the top rope and hits a 450 splash! He goes for the cover…

3!Shelton Benjamin and MVP eliminated by Jeremy and Max Buck

*Faceless*Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey run down to the ring and they start going at it with The Young Bucks. Max and Jeremy take the early lead in momentum by isolating Oliver Grey in their corner with quick tags and good combinations, including N’Sync and stereo dropkicks to both sides of Grey’s head. Jeremy heads to the top rope and Max sets up Grey for a powerbomb. Max lifts up Grey and starts to powerbomb Grey into Jeremy’s knees! At the last second, Grey gets loose and uses the momentum to shove Max’s head into Jeremy’s knees! Grey runs and gets the hot tag to Neville, who explodes into the ring! He flips over Jeremy to enter the ring and hits two clotheslines back to back. Jeremy whips Neville into the corner, but Neville does a handstand, rotates over Jeremy and does front flips in succession to the other corner. He’s unfortunately met by Max Buck with a vicious clothesline! Max then signals to his brother. Max sets up Neville for More Bang For Your Buck. Max hits the slam and Jeremy hits the 450 splash, then Max hits the moonsault right after! Jeremy goes for the cover…

Broken up by Grey!
Max turns Grey around, only to be met with a sharp kick to the side of the head. Max falls as Jeremy tries to hit Grey from behind. He runs at Grey, but misses and Grey hits a clothesline on Jeremy. Grey then picks up Jeremy and hits a twisting brainbuster! Grey drags both Jeremy and Max over to the corner where Neville’s perched. He stacks the Bucks on top of each other and Neville stands up. Neville jumps off the top and…connects with the corkscrew shooting star press on both Bucks! Grey and Neville both go for covers…

The crowd goes wild as they start looking around for The Shield. The Shield quickly enters through the crowd and begins to assault Neville and Grey.

As they survey the damage to the new champions, Reigns and Ambrose grab the titles and pose with them as NXT goes off the air!

Very impressed by first show! Surprised of a Big E face turn in NXT and will he carry that on in Smackdown!
Never expecting MVP to come out like I said I was thinking Hass!
The Shield coming to NXT to make a point was a genius idea!
